Chicken Sausage And Zucchini Pasta Recipes

ALIX'S GREEN VEGGIE AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the pesto: Add the basil, walnuts, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and water to a food processor and process until mostly smooth, 1-2 minutes. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue blending until emulsified.
• Make the green veggie and sausage pasta: Add the broccoli, zucchini, and Simple Truth® Italian Chicken Sausage to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and everything is starting to brown. Stir in the kale, then return to the oven for another 7 minutes, until the kale is wilted, and the sausage and vegetables have cooked through and browned.
• Add the cooked pasta to a very large bowl with the roasted vegetables and sausage, pesto, and ¼ to ½ cup of the reserved pasta water, and toss until well coated.
• Garnish with shaved Parmesan and basil sprigs.
• Enjoy!

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND ZUCCHINI PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot with boiling salted water cook rotini pasta until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven cook sliced Italian sausage until brown. Add cubed chicken and cook until no pink remains in either meat. Add onion, garlic, green bell pepper, Italian seasoning, salt and ground black pepper and stir together. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, and zucchini. Simmer until zucchini is tender yet crisp.
• Toss cooked pasta with sauce. Serve warm.

SKILLET ZUCCHINI AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet, lightly brown sausage. Add onion, celery, green pepper, garlic, oregano and pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are almost tender. Add zucchini and tomatoes; cook and stir until zucchini is just tender. Sprinkle with seasoning blend.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut a lengthwise 3/4-inch thick slice from each zucchini. Retain the lengthwise slices. With a spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving a shell intact all around the zucchini. Discard or save the flesh for another use. Chop up the retained lengthwise slices of zucchini.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken sausage, breaking the meat up as it cooks, until the sausage has begun to brown, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the chopped zucchini, onion, and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape the sausage mixture into a bowl, and stir in the tomatoes, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and basil until the stuffing is thoroughly combined.
• Lightly stuff the zucchini boats with the stuffing, place the zucchini into a baking dish, and bake until thoroughly heated through and beginning to brown on top, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE & ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 400.
• Cook penne as directed in boiling water; drain and set aside.
• Cut sausage into small slices (or remove casings so it can crumble as it cooks). Cook over medium heat in skillet.
• Remove sausage from skillet and then put in olive oil, zucchini and onion to saute.
• Add salt, pepper, and garlic after the zucchini and onion have softened.
• Make a slurry with the chicken broth and arrowroot power and add to vegetable mixture.
• Stir sausage back in, followed by the feta and mozarella cheeses.
• Either place in casserole dish or if using an oven-proof skillet, leave it as is, cover and put in oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes.

BAKED PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Generously butter a 9x12-inch casserole pan and coat with half the bread crumbs.
• Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with the salt.
• Cover with a plate (press down on the zucchini), weighted down with a heavy object.
• The salt will draw the liquid from the zucchini; the plate will help squeeze it out.
• Allow the zucchini to sit for about 20 minutes.
• Place the onion, celery, carrot and pancetta or bacon in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is chopped into tiny pieces.
• In a large, deep sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the vegetable-pancetta mixture and the garlic.
• Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the sausage, stirring to break it up further and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through.
• Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the tomato sauce and broth.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• You should have a thin rather than thick pasta sauce; you want it liquid, as the mixture will eventually bake.
• Set the sauce aside, and cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions.
• Do not overcook; the pasta should hold its shape.
• While the pasta is cooking, rinse the zucchini.
• Wrap in a clean, dry kitchen towel and squeeze out all the moisture.
• Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil.
• Add the zucchini, and over high heat, brown on all sides for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Cook in two batches, adding more oil if necessary, if the zucchini pieces are too many for one pan.
• They should be softened but not mushy.
• Remove and set aside.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
• Remove 1 cup of the pasta sauce from its pan and warm the remainder.
• Add the pasta and reserved pasta water to the sauce in the pan and toss well.
• Add the zucchini and mozzarella and stir well.
• Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared casserole pan.
• Pour the reserved sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs and the Romano.
• Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil, and bake in the center of the oven for about 10 minutes, until warmed through.
• Remove the foil, check that the mozzarella is melted and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to crisp the top before serving.
